MHA #2 | Friday Evening

[defenderofdesmoines]

So, given that Annie was planning on throwing a super-early Christmas party here in two weeks and that she and Diego would be gone next week to see her family, it was completely reasonable for the apartment to already be kind of festive, right?

Whatever, Annie said it was and would be taking no questions, thank you. She hadn't gone totally overboard yet (had to save something for when they got back from Iowa, obviously!), but she had totally just adopted the habit of putting Christmas music on when she was home, and burning a Christmas candle (it smelled like wonderful Christmas treats that neither she nor Diego were capable of baking!) and there was totally a little stack in the corner of the living room of deliveries that had already commenced for the party. The return of Christmas kegs!

Right now, she was taking things into her own hands and winding a few strings of lights through each of her several houseplants (now safely inside and off the balcony, where they'd remain for the winter), and taking extra care with the spider plant that she had no reason to think wasn't the original spider plant from last spring.

"You know what," she mused aloud, "I think the lights might need to be a permanent thing, because you guys are looking great."

"Are you kidding? Absolutely not." He'd be insane to move now.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Maybe you want to make me work for it," Annie suggested with a smirk as she pulled back and indeed let go of both of his wrists, though not before giving them another gentle little rub with her thumbs. She sat up a bit, arching her back as she peeled her shirt up and off.

[knife_bender]

"And deprive myself of this view?" There was a brief moment where he did almost reach out to touch her but quickly put his hands back down, curling his hands into the bedding to keep from doing it again.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie caught that movement, and it actually sort of caught her off-guard how much it turned her on to see Diego have to stop himself from touching her. It was hot to be wanted, who knew?

But it also just made her want to tease more, and so she reached one hand behind her back to unclasp her bra and then...didn't. "Take your shirt off. And then hands back where they are."

[knife_bender]

"Bossy," Diego teased, sitting up long enough to pull his shirt off. He tossed it aside and laid back down as requested, but it was very hard not to help her out with the bra removal.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"You love it," Annie replied, biting her lip as she went ahead and unhooked her bra, tossing it aside as she reached down to pin his wrists again. Still no touching, even if it probably just got really tempting.

Fortunately, Annie was also not without mercy (or her own needs), and so she was leaning down to kiss Diego with a soft, eager little hum.

[knife_bender]

He really did love it, even if it also drove him just a little crazy when they were like this. Diego couldn't help but cheat a little bit, arching up his back to brush his chest against hers.

It was only a little bit of cheating.

[defenderofdesmoines]

And cheating like that drove Annie a little crazy, in like, the best way. "Fuck, Diego."

She renewed the grip she had on his wrists and shifted her hips downwards a little so she could press her chest flush against Diego's as she kissed him. And look, she was only human, so there might have been bit of neediness in the noise she made. She could be bossy and slow and still want more all at the same time, okay?

[knife_bender]

Diego let out a soft moan, loving the feeling of her his skin against his. He wriggled a little against her hold, feeling the need to touch even more. While moving his arms wasn't an option he could arch his hips up into hers.

[defenderofdesmoines]

And there was a matching moan from Annie, who was kind of really tempted to let go of him then and there.

But. The wriggling was hot, and Annie took advantage of her position to kiss her way down along Diego's neck, stopping to issue a light bite to the center of his chest. "Talk to me. Tell me what you want."

She'd even give him his hands back, if that was really what he wanted.

[knife_bender]

Diego took a second to catch his breath, and to try to focus on all the possibilities laid out before him.

What he settled on was fairly simple, but did make things easier for the both of them. "I want the rest of our clothes off."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"I love how you think," Annie told Diego approvingly, pressing a kiss where she'd just bitten before carefully shifting her hips to the side and rolling off of him. She let go of his wrists, too, but only so she could take care of the very important task of undoing Diego's pants for him.

She'd take care of her own in a second, of course, but first she wanted to wind him up even more if she could, and that was going to involve more of Annie teasingly cupping her palm against the front of his pants during this process than was probably strictly necessary.

[knife_bender]

"Fuck," Diego murmured, unable to keep himself from lifting his hips up to press against her hand. Still wasn't using his hands though, which he was very proud about. "I have great ideas."

[defenderofdesmoines]

He should be proud of that! What an act of willpower! Annie was impressed, even as she was distractedly working his pants down for him. She might have been less distracted if she could stop touching and teasing him, but obviously not doing that was off the table.

"You do," Annie agreed, dipping her head to press a kiss to Diego's hip once his pants were out of the way. (And maybe she was interested in seeing how that willpower would hold up, since she wasn't taking hold of his wrists again quite yet.)

[knife_bender]

Well, he was doing a good job at not moving his arms, anyway. He couldn't help but wriggle a little at the feeling of her lips against his skin. If asked, he was just trying to help her get his pants off. That was all.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Helpful of him, really. Annie rocked back just a bit to pull his pants off the rest of the way, because she was also helpful, and took a few seconds to swiftly get the remainder of her own clothes off. (For some reason, she was much speedier with her own clothing removal, weird.)

But once she was able to kick her pants and underwear off, that was when Annie was reaching for Diego's hands again as she moved to kiss him, not fully climbing back on top of him just yet. "That's better. Where were we?"

[knife_bender]

Diego grinned. "I believe you were teasing me relentlessly."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Relentlessly," Annie echoed in agreement, moving to climb on top of him again. For now, she was opting to just thread her fingers through Diego's, a sweeter way to deny him the use of his hands than just aggressively holding him down. (For now.) "Poor you, being relentlessly teased."

Annie sure seemed sorry about it. Look how she was leaning down to flick her tongue out against one of his nipples. Clearly that was an apology and not, you know -- continued, relentless teasing.

[knife_bender]

Diego's breath hitched and he squeezed Annie's hands a little tighter in an effort to keep still. "Fuck, that feels so good."

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie glanced up at him, making eye contact as she ran her teeth over that same nipple and returned the squeeze to his hands. "Not too much teasing?"

[knife_bender]

"What if I said no?" he asked. "Would I get more?"

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Maybe," Annie replied, kissing her way across his chest to give the other side equal attention. "But I don't want to actually torture you."

She just wanted to make him wriggle around under her. Maybe induce a little begging.

[knife_bender]

"I think you know my limits by now." Probably even better than he did, really.

Diego bit down on his lip, squirming a little. "Tell me what you like about this. Holding me down."

[defenderofdesmoines]

She did have a good idea of his limits. And generally they tended to coincide with when she'd kind of driven herself into a frenzy with the teasing, too.

"I like seeing you like this. I like how much you like it." The easy answer was right there, and it was also obviously true. Annie was pretty flushed, and while having to actually articulate herself on this point was part of it, it certainly wasn't all of the reason why. She ducked her head a little lower, pressing a soft kiss against his ribs. "And I like how it makes me feel."

All, like, powerful and sexy and in charge in a way she just wasn't able to be normally. It wouldn't work without the trust that had been there since basically day one, either, and that was part of it, too.

[knife_bender]

Diego squirmed a little more, never wanting to admit he was ticklish but that was a...sensitive spot. Yes. We'll go with sensitive.

"You look so good like this," he said, letting out a shaky breath. "I like watching you do whatever you want."
